This is a very impressive piece of machinery built in 1941 and currently on tour. Tour ends in Greeley, Co. on July 29.

COOL!!
It's not about perfection -- it's about progress!!

I LOVE this stuff!

"Perhaps you and I have lived with this miracle too long to be properly appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again" Ronald Reagan

Speaking of steam locos. I worked at CWRO railroad and as a class III rail connection many times interesting rail equipment would be transferred between class I mainly NS-CSXT. Here is the 765. What a gas to get to go into the cab and check out all the engineers gear and fire box.
